A True Friend Indeed *Urban*

Part 21

*Gabrielle*

         I woke up at about 8 in the morning and Miles was gone. I wondered where he went this early but i didn't trip. He would have to leave anyway because I had to get to work. I rolled over and checked my phone.

2 messages from Miles.

        I checked them. He basically said that he had to take care of some business. He also said that he didn't appreciate how I YEET that ass last night. "High and dry" was how he described the feeling. Whatever though, he should know by now I'm not that gullible.

        I showered real quick like, pulled out my fro, and headed out of the door. When I got in my car I said a quick prayer with my hand over my dashboard, just for traveling grace. I always felt good after doing that.

        I recently took a job at Gautreaux Family Dentistry, where I was doing basic secretary work, and dibble dabbling in teeth cleaning. I enjoy the people, and my boss, Mr. Gautreaux himself is a short little man, but quite charming and a true sweetheart. I always had an obsession with teeth growing up, and I knew dentistry had my heart from the jump. So there it is.

        Later on I got a text from Miles saying he was coming to get me for lunch, and I agreed. I filed off the last bit of work I had and headed out the door. As soon as I crossed the threshold Mile's Audi came peeling through the damn parking lot. I made a mental note to remind his black ass that this is not "Fast and Furious" and he is not Tyrese.

"Um excuse me sir what was that?"

"Well hey to you too. And whatchu talkin bout?"

"How you came peeling through here like you a NASCAR driver, like my nigga.."

"Whatever just  get in the car I got somewhere to be after this so.."

        I stepped back and looked around... He CAN'T be talking to me. I'm finna turn tf up.

"Ok you can't be talking to me. What is wrong with you this afternoon?"

"Look I really don't have time.. so you gone get in or what?"

"Haha, you know what, Ion know where this random act of disinterest came from, cause you sure was interested in these lips last night, NIGGA."

        He just looked at me, then straight ahead, gripping the steering wheel as I stared at him through the passenger window. I told him to gtf, and before I could completely turn around to go back into the office he peeled out the parking lot, AGAIN.

        He can lick my balls. The little spat didn't spoil my appetite at all, so I text Big and Pregnant to come have lunch with me. She text back really quick which didn't surprise me at all.  I hopped in my car anticipating a Backyard Burger.

        I got there before her as usual. She waddled in all cute like. I smiled thinking about how big she has gotten. She did look a little tired though I wouldn't bring that up. We chatted it up for a while, and I told her about the incident with Miles, and even what happened the previous night.

"Gabby, I know Miles. He can be a little bitchy every now and again, but you are a at fault."

        I stare at me bestfriend like she grew a second head. Them babies must be giving her ass brain damage. She got to be sleep.

"And how is that??"

"You leading him on, not giving him no kind of answer as to what ya'll are."

I sipped my drink and simply stated "He never asked me."

"GABBY HE SHOULD'NT HAVE TO ASK."

"Whatever, can we not talk about this?" I snapped lowkey.

        I could tell she wanted to say something to me about my sharp reply, but she instead closed her eyes and rubbed her belly. That scared me. These babies must have gave her a better brain rather than damaging it. Ha. We wrapped up and said out goodbyes. As I headed back to work I couldn't;t help but to keep replaying what Princess said in my head.. I couldn't shake it, maybe I was leading him on, but I won't push the subject. He'll speak when he's ready.

        After work I headed home and went straight for the shower. After that I cooked a little something, ate, then chilled with a good book with full intentions of going right to bed with it on my lap. Have you ever noticed that every time you plan shit out it never go the way it is supposed to initially? Yeah? Me too. With that being said I got a text from the Black ass Jack ass saying come outside. Please nigga you got me fucked.

But I did it.

I put on my slippers and walked down my driveway to see his car at the end of it. I got in the car and just sat there in the passenger seat looking straight ahead. After a while of silence he said..

"Why you not talking?"

"Did you NOT tell ME to come outside?" I replied as calm as my nerves would allow.

"Well if you don't want to talk I will.."

"Ok?" I replied sarcastically.

"I feel like last night we could have honestly got somewhere, but you pushed me away and I-"

"What you mean by got somewhere? Like in my drawers. Sadly mistaken is what you are."

"No, not even that. I feel like you wanted to tell me something. All these times we kissed all absent minded and shit, like we might as well be something, friends don't do that kind of shit Gabrielle." He said frustrated, throwing his head back on the head rest. I won't even stunt. I felt kind of bad after that, because it was true.. I was leading him on. It grew silent and I finally decided to look at him. From head to toe. His toned arm, chocolate skin, and his low and neat har cut. His skin. I was leading this beautiful manon?

"Look Miles I-"

"No, let me talk, I did tell YOU to come outside, right?" He said in a stern but sexy tone. I closed my eyes and tried to think of everything except for the heat in between my legs. He continued.

"I really feel for you, like you so goofy, and you smart. Hella smart. You beautiful, and you not no mooching ass female, you don't want nothing but my time. I appreciate that. So what you want to do?"

        I was and never will be the cliche female that says shit like "My heart been broke too much" or "I can't trust no one". Everybody has had there share of heartbreaks, but never will I let that influence my future. It's either I like you or I don't, and in this case my answer can't be no. So..

"Ok Miles. I can give you the chance. Fuck up and.."

"I won't."

"Good," was all I said.

        Looking ahead, I could feel him staring holes into my body. Through peripheral vision I saw his hand reach over to me. I held my breath, waiting on his touch, but then he pulled the door open and simply said,

"Get out."

        I looked at him with filled curiosity and anger. Like did you not just pour your heart out to me and ask for my hand in relations? He then busted out laughing and I just looked at him and hopped out of the car. He then chased me in the house and we just chilled out for the rest of the night.

I don't know where we going... day by day. Day by day..
